  • What about using an optical out (I know the B550 Gaming Edge has it, which is similar to the Tomahawk) to feed digital audio to a conventional hi-fi amplifier?

    1. Used stereo kit deprecates very badly; for the $100-200 you'll pay for a nice headphone DAC/Amp, you could get a trunk full of (originally $500-1000) AV receivers that have been obsoleted due to HDMI or whatever 32-channel format Dolby invented this week. Check any Goodwill.
    1. It's gonna give you more flexibility-- if you decide you want more sources, or to move up to speakers, or even just FM, you can go there easily; a decent reciever bristles with inputs
  • It feels like there are a lot of other low sphericals now-- XDA/MDA, CSA, Akko's ASA, XVX for backlit-- at much lower prices and shorter lead time. $115 for a 100% set stings when I'm used to sub-$40 sets from China.

    I guess what GMK could bring would be brand power and standardization. Buy a few cheap sets and they'll likely be subtly different profiles, but I'd expect MTNU sets would be interchangeable, which is a bigger deal the further you get from 104-ANSI boards

  • Except Aliexpress is still fun.

    Let me spend 6 hours looking at slightly different screwdrivers and keycaps and dodgy anime merch and ICs that haven't been used since 1988. Way better than 84 pages of KWJIBO brand home goods.

  • Some early Ms have extra wire stabilizers on some longer keys. I think I've seen it on the numpad plus and enter on like '86 and '87 models, but it disappeared on later models. I think this might have corresponded with using more plug inserts.

  • That alarms me. The Fediverse is inherently self-selecting to nerds. You'd expect to see a higher standard for memecraft. It's like going to an anime con, and the artist's alley isn't full of fanworks that violate every known principle of anatomy. Or to a Sportsball match where they don't slam-dunk the touchdown bases.

    Of course, we'll never top that picture which I thought for years was a deep-fried image of Hank Hill with the caption "E".

  • Is there a good rundown of the differences? Is there a suggestion to stick with the one you had before, or does it not matter since this is a new formula?

    Most importantly, I want a systemd-free vaccine. The 5G/Bill Gates/Diet Pepsi conspiracy chips in there better run a respectable init system!
